My very first question for Mueller would be

[SHRED]

Were you able to complete your investigations on your timeline or did outside influences end it sooner than you wanted to?

I still, for the life of me, don't know why Barr wasn't asked.

[BigmanPigman]

1. I'd like to know the answer to that myself.

I believe that words were twisted but under all that mess it did come out that he was shut down early.

[Clarity2]

2. I could have sworn

from special counsel rules, that if the investigation was squashed by AG that Mueller would be required to report that to congress.

[SHRED]

8. However

This is a lawless administration.

[Clarity2]

11. Yep

Nothing has gone according to protocol. I think intel committees were suppose to be brief on counterintelligence by fbi...also schiff said he hasnt been briefed in 18 mos on russia intel. Just wtf.

[bluestarone]

3. Or this one Are you still on the payroll?

[malaise]

4. Mine too

Barr stopped the investigation - take that to the bank

[Raven123]

5. I suspect there are some subtle ways to get that answer

Ask Mueller if he wanted to interview Trump. If he did ask him why he didn’t. Why didn’t he subpoena Trump.

Sally Yates said she prosecuted obstruction cases on evidence similar to that uncovered by Mueller. Find a few lawyers who can go back and look into case histories and see if there are similar circumstances exclusive of the unique position of Trump and see if they were prosecuted. Then ask Mueller how they differ.

It won’t be easy, but Congress needs tomget its act together. The whole Barr no-show appears like a waste of effort at this point in time.

6. Why does it need to be subtle?

It is a very simple yes or no answer. Why did no one ask the question?

[MFGsunny]

7. My hypothesis has been ....

... that as soon as DIS-Barr met with SC in early March 2019 and KNEW that Mueller was not going to indict per OLC memo, DIS-Barr "suggested" (ask Kamala Harris how the AG ABUSED her question for a moment) to wrap it up since all other cases were with SDNY.

And then, DIS-Barr opened his mouth yesterday at several points and removed most of the hypothesis doubts I had entertained.

JUST THE FACT THAT MUELLER HAD TO TAKE SUCH EXTRAORDINARY STEPS TO PUSH BACK ON DIS-BARR BY "GOING TO PAPER" was, of course, my first clue. DUH!

[SHRED]

9. True

However, I'm sick of mere clues.

[LiberalFighter]

10. That would be key.

Then hit Barr with obstruction of justice.
